Zipei's face was a little unbearable, and Fang Cai's laughter and joy became a little tasteless. She coughed, but Zijin stepped forward and said, "Back to the little master, the slave Zijin is the twin sister of the concubine——"

Everyone knows Zipei's background, but because Zipei is so favored, who dares to mention this matter, but they didn't expect to see Zijin in Lingxiu Palace today, which is equivalent to a slap in Zipei's face, but Zijin is very satisfied with this result.

He Xi pulled Tuoba Lin to his side and asked about his homework, which allowed Zijin to take Tuoba Lin down, Gongsun Jingyi is a person who is very good at judging the situation, she smiled and said: "How else to say, my sister's blessing is great, the same appearance, but Your Majesty just likes my sister." ”

Zipei's face softened a lot, and said, "Sister has won the prize." ”

No more words since.

When she was about to leave Lingxiu Palace, she happened to see Zijin waiting in front of the door, how did Zipei know Zijin, she knew that she must be waiting for herself, so she leaned over slightly to Gongsun Jingyi and said, "The concubine wants to talk to my sister." ”

Gongsun Jingyi's eyes swept faintly on the two of them, and he bowed his head and said, "Then I won't disturb the two." After that, he took the smoke around him and left.

When she was far away, Yanluo whispered: "Little master, the slave and maid look at it, this Zijin is much more stable than the concubine, why did Concubine Xi choose the concubine?" ”

Gongsun Jingyi's eyes no longer had the meekness and softness they had before, and she said calmly in her coldness: "Because the more stupid people are, the better they are to restrain them, be careful that this fool will spoil our affairs when the time comes——"

Yanluo unconsciously took a half step back and said, "The slave will be careful." ”

Gongsun Jingyi looked at the direction of the palace gate, and suddenly said: "I heard that Concubine Xi was attacked by cats before, and it was Bai Cairen from Chuxiu Palace who saved her, but why have I been in the palace for so long and have never seen her?" ”

Yan Luo had already inquired about the affairs in the palace, and she said, "The slave maid heard that Bai Cairen is sick and has been closed to no guests——"

Gongsun Jingyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Oh? Sick? But why didn't Concubine Xi even mention her? ”

Yanluo lowered her head and said, "This slave doesn't know." ”

Gongsun Jingyi looked at the sky and said, "It's okay left and right, we will meet this white talent——"

At this time, in the Lingxiu Palace, Zijin was staring at the woman in front of him with an angry face, and said in a low voice: "Sister, haven't you forgotten your identity?" ”

Zi Pei frowned, she is now the little master of the palace, Zi Jin still talks to herself like this, she sarcastically said with a nonchalant expression: "Identity? Is it my sister or sister who has forgotten my identity? ”

Zijin's face turned red, and she said indignantly: "The queen mother is still grounded, you are actually - now there is only me in Lingxiu Palace - you-"

The anger in her heart was like that of a beast, as if it wanted to break out of its cage. However, Zipei didn't care, but the queen couldn't be offended even if she was favored now, so she had to say: "There is no way for my sister to do this, only in this way, can my sister speak in front of His Majesty?" ”

Zijin knew that what she was saying now was just prevaricating her own words, but she had no choice but to hope that the queen could lift the ban as soon as possible.

He Xi fiddled with some pearl and agate hostas in the hall, and Ruyi came in with a smile on his face and said, "Niangniang, Fang Cai Zijin and Concubine Yi stood under the wall and talked for a long time, it seems that there is a dispute." ”

He Xi withdrew his hand, smiled innocently and harmlessly: "These two people, they all have the same mind, Zijin is strong in everything, so naturally I can't see that Concubine Yi is now pressing her, but the master is always the master, the slave is always the slave, and the master and the subordinate are more humble than the family." ”

Ruyi smiled: "No, the slave maid also heard that Concubine Hui's people quietly went to the Hehuan Palace, and never sent anyone to go again, I'm afraid I don't believe her anymore." Niangniang's plan, in addition to an eyeliner around her, also transferred the relationship between Zijin and Zipei, and unloaded one of Concubine Hui's arms, it was really killing three birds with one stone. ”

He Xi said: "It's just that this palace always feels a little uneasy, Ruyi, did we ignore something?" ”

Ruyi said as if he was soothing: "Niangniang is afraid that she is too worried, the queen is grounded, and Concubine Hui is uncontrollable, we have been careful and careful, and there will be no mistakes." ”

He Xi said: "Lin'er, there are also a few more smart and clever ones, do you know?" ”

Ruyi nodded.

Tuoba Yue hurried up, and when he returned to southern Xinjiang, it was already mid-October, and when he arrived in southern Xinjiang, he saw people waiting next to the official road, and some people were already waiting early.

Yue Qi's expression was a little complicated, he turned his head to look at Tuoba Yue and said, "Lord Wang-this-"

A cold light flashed in Tuoba Yue's eyes, and the corners of his thin lips were finely adjusted: "Since my uncle is so enthusiastic, let's go to greet him earlier." ”

The man saw the figures of Yue Qi and Tuoba Yue, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Seventh prince, the patriarch calculated that you can arrive today, and let the servants wait here." ”

Yue Qi sat on his horse and said condescendingly: "Patriarch Xiao is accurate in his estimation and well-informed. ”

The man didn't understand the deep meaning of Yue Qi's words, so he just leaned over again and said, "Patriarch wait, whether the Seventh Prince will return to Xiao Mansion now." ”

Tuoba Yue nodded: "Okay, let's go back and have a look first." ”

As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, and took the reins into the city, most of the people in southern Xinjiang knew Tuoba Yue, just because he was the king here, the people knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison: "His Royal Highness King Xian is healthy." ”

Ankang, this is the best prayer of the people of the whole southern Xinjiang to him, this boy has grown up in this land since he was a teenager, and now he is long, elegant and handsome, and married the daughter of a local noble family, everything is perfect for them.

Tuoba Yue smiled and let everyone be exempted, the simple people handed fresh chickens and ducks, and meat, and the woman handed over brocade and garlands, which is the custom of southern Xinjiang, Tuoba Yue let Yue Qi and his men take it one by one, and took copper coins and distributed them to everyone, as a sign of peace and peace.

The little guy in charge of receiving the wind couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Seventh Prince is so loved by the people, if the patriarch sees it, he must be very pleased——"

Tuoba Yue said quietly: "Thanks to my uncle's assistance over the years, I can have today's king, and my uncle has really worked hard." ”

Which person smiled: "The prince and southern Xinjiang are inseparable, the prince's mother, Xiao Guifei, is from southern Xinjiang, and the prince is the king of southern Xinjiang. ”

Tuoba Yue interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Okay, take this king to see your uncle." ”

With that, a few people walked towards Xiao Mansion.

From afar, I saw a magnificent, mansion appeared at the end of the long street, the black lacquered high door, the lacquered gold plaque, the two ends of the Fu Ruixiang beast mouth are holding the golden lacquer ball the size of an adult's fist, full of magnificence.

Tuoba Yue just glanced at it, and then stepped inside.

However, when he arrived in the front hall, he didn't see Xiao Tian, only Xiao He, the son of Xiao's side, was there, Xiao He was gloomy and calculating, and because of this, he could win Xiao Tian's respect.

He leaned over and saluted: "Your Royal Highness, my uncle burned incense for Concubine Xiao in the ancestral hall, saying that if the prince came back, he would go directly to the ancestral hall to find him." ”

Tuoba Yue clenched his hands unconsciously, and said in a deep voice: "This king knows." ”

After speaking, he strode in the direction of the Xiao ancestral hall, and the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion stood outside the door, and when he saw Tuoba Yue hurriedly saluting, he whispered: "The prince should go in." ”

Tuoba Yue bowed slightly, then pushed the door in, and in the ancestral hall, there was a strong smell of sandalwood, and the smoke and clouds were swirling, and it was like a fairyland.

Xiaotian was kneeling on the futon in the hall at this time, looking up at the spiritual seat of the head, which was Xiao Yan'er's spiritual seat, Tuoba Yue's eyes could not hide a trace of sadness, he took three incense sticks from the case, lit them, bowed three times, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, my son has come to see you." ”

Xiao Tian looked at Tuoba Yue, got up from the futon with a sigh, paced to Tuoba Yue's side and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, your mother and I are also pleased, today I came to tell your mother about you and Nai'er, presumably your mother will be happy." ”

Tuoba Yue didn't look at Xiao Tian, but said in a deep voice: "Uncle, you are sending three letters in a row, just to urge me to return to Southern Xinjiang, is it just for marriage?" It really doesn't look like something you would do. ”

Xiao Tian stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "Marriage is important, but in fact, I asked you to come back naturally for more important things, my uncle knows that everything is ready now, and I only owe the east wind, and my uncle is sending you the east wind now." ”

Tuoba Yue frowned slightly, and said, "What does Uncle mean by this?" ”

Xiao Tian's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he seemed to have a sense of pride in his hand, and said, "Yue'er, you just follow me." ”

Tuoba Yue didn't know why, suddenly had a bad premonition, Xiao Tian took Tuoba Yue to the backyard of Xiao Mansion, Tuoba Yue looked at the small backhouse with dozens of people guarding, as if he was guarding something.

Walking to the last room, Xiao Tian said, "How is today?" ”

The guard guarding the door said very respectfully: "I haven't given him food for two days, and I don't have much strength to come." Xiao Tian said with a smug expression: "Be careful, it's still useful to keep his life." ”

Saying that, he pushed open the door, and entered the house, Tuoba Yue followed up, only glanced at the man, Tuoba Yue was stunned in place, the man was still strong, but at this time, he was covered in injuries and knelt on the ground, with a thumb-thick shackle on his hand, and was hung on the beam, no matter how he could stand, he could only stand or stand, and his wrist was already black.

It was Liang Qi.
